“Contact sports” are they worth the risk? YES! Now most people would call you dumb if you said there was no risk in contact sports, but that's no reason to not allow kids to play them. If someone came up to me and asked me “Would you let your kid play football” , i would wholeheartedly say yes.
In article one, Tear Down the Swing Sets, Nicholas Day has given us reasons why playground designs have changed over time. One reason is child safety. Days research shows on lines 35, he has stated," But there's this sense that if you talk about it that's enough. There's this very real reluctance to get involved in anything that might at least potentially cause an injury." This example shows that playgrounds
Indeed, the safety of children is the main purpose of this article, so he provided us with a series of studies to confirm his argument. For example, some psychologists have shown the pattern: A child who’s hurt in a fall before the age of 9 is less likely as a teenager to have a fear of heights. They believe that if the children are allowed to go outside their safety zone, they will learn how to accept obstacles as well as hard situations. They will be stronger and more willing to confront new challenges as time goes by. Moreover, Dr. Ball said. “If children and parents believe they are in an environment which is safer than it actually is, they will take more risks." And a real example, Nayelis Serrano, a 10-year-old from the South Bronx, she used to play jungle gyms. Her experience about that game is so wonderful. She was scared it at first, but she kept continuing to the top of bar, and she won. She said. “I’d like to see it in our playground. Why not? It’s kind of dangerous, I know, but if you just think about danger you’re never going to get ahead in life.”
In fact, the definition of “playground” is “an outdoor area provided for children to play on, especially at a school or public park.” (dictionary.com) Meaning that parks or playground were never intended to have people use their imagination when there. Last time I checked people went to parks to play with friends or do something physical. After my research I want my future kids to be able to take the necessary risks. I believe (and at this point you should too) that children should have the freedom to head off fears before they start, meaning there should be healthy risks at every playground or
My observations included watching my neighbor’s children on their trampoline. When I was observing, I noticed a lot of developmental differences between the oldest and youngest siblings. The oldest was a 6-year-old girl jumping on her trampoline. I could tell the girl was very passionate towards her workout. The first 5 minutes of my observations included her being by herself, while her younger brother was playing in the grass with his red truck and train. His full attention was on his toys for a while. I never realized how focused some kids can actually be.
Sports injuries can affect bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, muscles, and tendons. When playing in a sport there is always a chance you might get an injury. Children ages from five to 14 years old have the highest rate of injuries, children are more likely to suffer injuries due to their immature reflexes and are less likely to recognize risks. Of course as you know contact sports are one of the highest rated, and with that being said most injuries happen during practice rather than in an actual game. When dealing with sports 95% of the time injuries are minor soft tissue traumas, like bruising
The author is coming from a factual and knowledgeable position. From the way the views and quotes of the participants of the article are placed, to the information about jump safety components, to the number of horses and riders that are killed every year as a direct result of Eventing. The author is also quite clear in that no one is calling for the sport to be banned, she is merely calling to have simple safety features made mandatory for all Events.
Though this argument may seem accurate, it does not fully explain some of the major health risks and what the parents and coaches are doing to prevent as many injuries as possible. In conclusion, young athletes should play sports because, youth sports can be a learning experience or it can be a health risk to the athletes. The three main points are how sports keep you healthy, how they build character, and the values that they will learn from sports and how they will use them in the future. Even though there are many health risks involved, the coaches and parents are doing the best they can to prevent their child from getting hurt.

First and foremost, people do not realize how dangerous cheer is on the competitive side; they think they just yell cheers and wave their pom poms around (Wright). For example, “Thirty years ago, cheerleading routines consisted primarily of toe-touch jumps, the splits, and claps.
